From the Land of the Extremes to the Land of a Nearly Singular Season. (CHI-->OAK)

Adventure persists: I've moved again! Now in Oakland, CA, I am taking up residence with old friends. I live with a PT and a consultant who lead extremely physically and intellectually active and intentional lives. It's challenging me to do the same, and I feel intermittently successful. :)

My primary motivation for moving is professional growth and development. I am working for Amy Selinger at Back to Life (more about ME!) part time in San Francisco and will soon work one day/week in Oakland. I am also working on marketing our business as well as my own--I'm also working part time out of my home as a PT/fitness instructor/health coach. I have joined Twitter and I'm still trying to understand its most useful capacity. You can follow me @DrJManley. I plan to start a blog to talk about things that might be helpful for others. Any specific ideas?

My secondary motivation for the move was to entice myself to continue growth in other areas: respectful, intentional relationships; nurturing my nature-loving side; conserving (CA is in a drought after all) to preserve what nature has given; basically, as I become an adult (since I'm 30 now), I'm structuring my life around my passion (my career) while also giving myself the best opportunities to explore the other ends of life.

I love life as I reacquaint myself with new surroundings, yet again. Will I ever find my home?
